PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - It was another day of peaceful protests in Pittsburgh on Saturday.
For the last four months, protesters have taken to the streets of Pittsburgh each Saturday for "Civil Saturdays."
Saturday was a sharp contrast to last week, with the march taking place in Bakery Square and moving through the East End.
Some intersections were briefly blocked but the demonstration ended without incident.
